If you need a very detailed, comprehensive, grammar of Russian—either for reference purposes for a scholar or for the advanced student of the language—this is your book. The Russians, mainly under the Soviets, did a stellar job of making Russian a uniform national language over a vast geographic land area and numerous (mainly eastern Russian/Siberian) cultures for which Russian was really a second language. When you consider how many dialects of Chinese exist or how varied Spanish is, or even Arabic, the uniformity of Russian from Moscow to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is very impressive. Still, as one of the world's major literary, social, and business languages, the grammar is very nuanced and in areas, quite complex. For literary scholars of Russian, this book is an obvious need, however, it's also useful to anyone truly trying to understand the nature of the language. Well-written, easy to understand if you already have a good grounding in Russian, this is a great reference.

Comprehensive is pretty accurate - so thorough. As long as I memorize and internalize every last rule and exception, I will always know how and why all words and sentences are formed.

Good resource for Russian language learning
I used this book during my last year of Russian studies. It was for 3rd year Russian level. It came in handy.

Maybe a little too comprehensive. Excellent though.

Overall an informative and thorough tool for the Russophile. The main criticism I have to offer is that the explanations can complicate concepts that really aren't that complicated.

This is THE book to buy if you're learning Russian, along with "Russian Grammar Workbook" by the same author. If you only buy two books – buy these two. Comprehensive is by no means misleading.
